According to different online sources, Roxette’s new album and The Rox-Box will be released on October 18.
The single will hit the stores in Sweden approximately a month earlier, on September 20. The release date in Germany, Switzerland and Austria is September 22. Dates for other countries are still unknown. Nothing has been confirmed by either EMI or d&d yet.
The sleeve is taken from an EMI promo folder and may or may not be the real sleeve.

“The single will hit the stores in Sweden approximately a month earlier”. And what about the second one? I hope there will be two new songs.....

That’s interesting news, even though I was hoping for an earlier release.
Of course there will be TWO new songs. Per said so before and re-confirmed that some days ago. However, I think they will only release the second song as a single if the first single and the album sell well and achieve good chart positions.
Time will tell.

YAY!!!! My brothers laughing at me now, cos I was sitting on the floor LMAO going ’yay!’ and rocking like some kind of nutter. No UK release date yet? I’ll start brushing up on Swedish postal costs...
The rumour mill is going into overdrive! Lets hope this is true!
Bunio said on July 22, 2006 19:37:
so there will be only one release? i thought roxbox and GH album will be released separately.
agnethamaria - two new songs does not mean two new singles.

I’m a little bit confused about posting this ’news’ today...
These unconfirmed release dates float around the net since the beginning of july, for example in the soap forum and the german roxettforum:
http://www.sonofaplumber.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1120
http://www.roxetteforum.com/index.php?topic=7347.msg294914#msg294914
Wouldn’t it make more sense to post either these unconfirmed dates at that time of first rumors or when they were at least confirmed?
But today? there’s nothing new revealed since these rumors first came up.
But I think I understand, you collected trustable sources to keep the risk of invented dates low ;-)

@Bunio: GH album and the Rox Box are still two releases, they’ll only be released on the same date.
Two different release dates are not really necessary, because one of them is more for the fans and the other one for the ’normal’ CD-buyers.

Hope this is not the real sleeve!!!!! i will new Photos!!!!
room-service said on July 22, 2006 20:43:
What do you think? They made this bowling-alley photoshooting for their private photoalbums? ;-)
I thought we’re over with this promo-sleeve discussion, aren’t we? ;-) The promo-sleeve was published before the new photoshoot took place.
Bunio said on July 22, 2006 21:08:
room-service - you are right, sorry my mistake :)
Roxvet said on July 22, 2006 21:08:
YYYeeesss!!!!!
Only Two months for the new song!!!!
As Shakespeare said:
Ballad or Bubblegum song.....that is the question!!!!

@Bunio: Which article have you read?
In the article I read, the following is written down:
“Roxette’s new album AND The Rox-Box will be released on October 18”
’Roxette’s new album’ is the GH-album and the ’Rox-Box’ is probably the Rox-Box ;-)

of course thats not the real sleeve!! I reckon he UK release date will be either 16th or 23rd
abysmo said on July 22, 2006 22:56:
Don’t be afraid. There are 2 new songs, new phototshot, new campaign. All these pics are out of date. Let’ s wait for the bowling session. New songs? I’ m going crazy. Can’ t wait. . . .

I hate this sleeve!I think it sucks!!
Hope for a brend new picture as sleeve
Bunio said on July 23, 2006 00:05:
i think it was a bad idea to use this picture with the news. It brought once again this silly disscusion about whether it’s the real sleeve for GH or it’s not.
room-service - you’re right. my mistake. i was too excited probably :)

Although we’re over with this promo-sleeve discussion........... the star should remain as a reminiscence from those Joyride and Tourism times.
I LIKE THE STAR!!!!
CoyRoy said on July 23, 2006 07:48:
I REALLY don’t like this sleeve and I think Per and Marie is good-looking enough to make NEW photos!!!!! Let’s pray for loads and loads of NEW photos. Furthermore - I’m SO glad about this news!!! Hope to see the Rox-Box and GH album in sunny South Africa too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FireDiamond said on July 23, 2006 10:59:
YYYEEESSS!!! I‘ve been waiting for 3 long years to read this news! Finally new Rox songs! I‘m so eager to play those bonus CDs as well and hold the luxorius RoxBox in my very hands! A new Rox Era is coming - hold on tight!
Rich-UK said on July 23, 2006 14:55:
Do we know yet whether the new single will have a video? Cheers, Rich ;-)
room-service said on July 23, 2006 15:27:
@Bunio: That may be the rerason :-)
And you’re right, using this promo-picture in the article is as ’unadept’ as posting unconfirmed dates, most of the members in here probably can’t handle it, if they’re finally not correct ;-)
@Rich-UK: Nothing new, but that what Per wrote on soap.com on 10th of july:
“At the moment we’re discussing possible video scenarios. Did someone say Jonas Åkerlund? Will keep you posted on this.”
So there’ll be a video, they’re just discussing the scenarios.
tevensso (moderator) said on July 23, 2006 17:27:
There’s a video planned according to Per’s comment on SOAP.

if the new hits album did look like that i wouldnt be to upset, but shame they havent done another shoot similar to that one for this. maire with red hot lips and glasses and per looking all rocky hehe.

What do you guys think will be the release date for the titles of the new Singles? LOL
miss-misery said on July 24, 2006 11:25:
Don’t you think that there’s too much mystery for another Greatest Hits album?? I mean, we’ve already had three of them, this is going to be the fourth in ten years. Nothing new under the sun, so...
I guess we all are expecting the two new songs as a miracle... we’re thristy of Roxette music :D
whateveriam said on July 24, 2006 15:15:
Don’t let them use that photo as the sleeve!!! Thats what, 11 years old? I agree, new photos! I agree tho, I like the star
